Computers and VLE

Heythrop has three attractive, modern computer suites as well as student computers in both library buildings. The College has one of the highest computer to student ratios in the country.

Wireless access is available throughout the College. Increasing use is made of web-based resources and especially the College’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), HELIOS. This is the primary tool for communication between staff and students. Heythrop is among the pioneers in adopting exclusively online submission and marking of assignments. The VLE is also used for providing learning resources and learning forums. Students are also provided with a College e-mail address which they can retain for life.
